One week left on our reader survey

When we started Nomadic Spirit five months ago, we hoped a few people would find it. We're now closing in on 13,000 readers. We want the next stretch to be even better, and the best way to do that is to hear from you. This takes about four minutes. We'll read every answer and share what we learn in an upcoming issue.
